Spring fishing momentum is building across Long Island as the calendar fills with sales, shows, and fishing opportunities. Major events like the Pelagic Outfitters Giant Spring Sale, Marine Mate’s open house and tent sale, and upcoming flea markets highlight a busy late-March stretch, while trout stocking continues to provide solid freshwater action. Offshore, party boats are capitalizing on improving weather with strong ling bites on the wrecks, along with mixed catches of pollock and whiting, as captains prepare to transition into blackfish season in early April.
